So, im back. Most of you guys know me and most of you guys dont. Im Reem. Brooklyn born. Probably one of the tallest Emt's you will ever meet. I had a previous build thread that was never finished due to a life threatening accident. F-150 t-boned me after he ran a red light. God was on my side because the pole was a foot away from my head. Left me car-less for a while. After the depression I finally decided to finish what I started.

When I joined CL I didnt know anything about cars. Never heard of a intake, never heard of a tranny cooler...look at me now, thanks to all you guys. I remember opening google and looking up Lexus GS 300 and I came across "Carbongs" build thread. One of the illest GS ive ever seen in my life and I fell in love. That was the car I needed in my life. I then received a letter in the main from the Fire Department and needed to get a car asap. Then i discovered the 1GS. My 1st 1GS was in bad shape lol (for all of you guys who knew what i went through with it) and i definitely denied it. Now i found one in a much better condition. Now...watch me as I create something so Aesthetic...

Build Thread inspirations - Carbongs(2GS), Raine(SC), Zeb(2GS), Dew(1GS) & Rising_Sun(1GS)

This is going to be the ultimate build. I will take my time and everything will be done correctly. Stay tuned.

What I Spend So Far
Power Steering Pump (used) - $50
Car Towed - $100
Stuff in shop - $120

 

Got dressed for work. Uniform fresh out the washer machine. lol. Got in my car heading down Rogers avenue. My light turned green. Let my foot off the brake and as soon as i touched the gas...BAM. F-150 T-boned me. I was trapped in the car for a while. Called my job and my brother. End up wiggling my way out of the car. Some of my fellow EMS buddies were heading to a job down the block from my accident and stopped to help me. I was in good hands. From that day I was upset. I lost my baby.









Was a very bad night for me. I managed to strip the car on scene since i was in uniform. lol.

 

Found a 93 GS for 2500. Talked him down to 1700 :] It was clean. Just a few minor scratches. Power steering pump needs to be replaced, window regulator and a few other nicks and nacks. Then i can get on the road. Will post more piks soon.


My boy dew has a set of 19s for me. And that roof thing has to go lol.

Garnish got cracked. Gonna be replaced with the old one i had sitting around in the house.

Interior is clean. Just need the carpet shampoo'd, a new shifter plate and the passenger front window switch. The woodgrain on the switch is messed up.

 

Welcome back man and glad to hear you're alright! Subscribing to see this build progress.

 

Welcome back man, glad to hear you are ok also. Your the reason i am about to sell my Altima and step into a JZS147. Ironically i live in Brooklyn too.

 

glad you're fine... that's all that counts. now you'll have fun modding the new car.

 

solid car I had one sadfully totaled it but it kept me safe and from the looks of it you camed out the same!!! glad you got something another one.

 

Welcome back! Oh man, looking at those pictures just make me cringe...glad to hear you're alright

 

Welcome back, glad to see you return. When i saw the post the first time, i was wondering if we would see you in here again. Glad to see you back and have fun on your new build.

 

Thanks guys. Yea I was really lucky. This is going to be a good thread. Just wait and see.

 

Left the car at the location for a while. I had to work during Hurricane Sandy. Did a lot of rescue work & evacuation. I come to pick up the car and the gas light is on. Someone broke the gas door and sucked the gas out of the car. So i have a yellow light, messed up fuel pump, 2 messed up window regulators and a antifreeze leak. Great lol. Called up my boy Robbie and got the car towed to a good friend of mines at Fixed Right Auto...Richie. Great guy and hes a Lexus specialist. gonna leave it there for a few days to get it worked on. Here are a few more exterior piks.


Shifter plate and passenger switch need to be replaced.


Mad they broke the gas door though smh.


And a few interior piks.





Carpet is nasty. Needs shampoo and paint lol.



Fix it list:
Power Steering Pump
Driver front and Passenger Rear window regulators
Antifreeze leak
Switch out Garnish
Locate exhaust leak
Hood and Trunk struts
Belts
Cluster lights
Shifter plate & Passenger switch
Battery
Headlights

 

awwwwwww sheeeeitttt. Welcome back Reem... At least this one doesnt look like the old one when you first picked it up haha. Cant wait to see what your going to do with this one. Perfect time to start the build since its winter time.

 

Good luck with your build. My homie brought a 1gs in like 1995 and I think he still has it.Solid car if u take care of it.

 

Thanks Thanks. Cars still in the shop getting work done. Will be out sometime during the week.

 

So i was looking around for a 2jzgte and came across this






Only 800. No motor, no tranny, no ecu. Gonna take the front bumper w/ fogs, headlights, grille, Hood struts, shifter plate, steering wheel...and i believe thats it for now. Everything else if up for sale. Part out sounds nice. That will save me a lof of cash. Anyone want anything from it thats not listed above? I should be getting it in a few days.
